Deciphering genetic relationships within and among banana (Musa spp.) genome groups using ISSR and SRAP markers.

ABSTRACT: Characterization and identification of banana into their correct genome groups has been a problematic issue based on morphological and unappropriated molecular markers. In the present study, the genetic relationship between and among 28 banana (Musa spp.) accessions representing 5 genome groups (AAA, BB, AAB, ABB and AB) were evaluated using sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Although similar genetic relationship parameters were observed with the two markers, the higher values were generated with SRAP profiles as indicated with mean gene diversity value of 0.69 with SRAP and 0.64 with ISSR, polymorphic information content (PIC) of 0.64 with SRAP and 0.59 with ISSR, total genetic diversity (Ht) of 0.39 with SRAP and 0.34 with ISSR
